Delivery & Shipping
Delivery & Shipping
Do you offer free shipping?
We offer free domestic shipping on most orders over $150 subtotal. This excludes oversized and bulky items such as rods, blanks, gaffs, some tackle boxes, lobster nets, landing nets and other large items. Any 1 piece rod over 7'10" in length often incurs the biggest oversize fees charged by domestic shipping companies although we do have lower rates via other carriers on the West Coast. Any additional shipping fees will be automatically calculated at checkout before any billing is done.
What countries do you ship to?
We currently ship products within the US and to almost every country in the world, covering all available destination via UPS and DHL. International shipping times depend on the products and destination. Shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout, for most countries we also collect Duties and Taxes and prepay them so you do not have to deal with the carrier or customs.
How long will it take to get my order?
Standard shipping can take 3-8 business days depending on location and order volume. If you have requested spooling on your reel or rigging on your lures then it could take an additional day or two. Next day & 2 day shipping is available on most domestic orders (for an additional charge). Orders placed after 12pm Pacific Standard Time will be processed the next business day.
What carriers do you ship with?
We work with UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, GLS and DHL. When your order qualifies for free shipping or has a rod that qualifies for discounted shipping we reserve the right to choose which carrier it is sent with, otherwise you can pick the service you want. UPS Ground ranges from 1 to 7 day delivery, USPS Priority Mail is typically 1-3 days but is not a guaranteed express service, and USPS Ground Advantage takes roughly 3-7 business days. Longer rods are generally sent via GLS unless otherwise specified, this service ranges from 1 - 10 days.

250 reels, serialized 1776 through 2026. Penn built this run to mark the country's 250th birthday and engraved the blue sideplate with the Liberty Bell and “United States of America.” That lands better than most commemoratives: International-series reels are machined in Penn's Philadelphia plant, and the crew there has been building them in that same building since 1932.
Mechanically this is a standard 50VISW — same two-speed gear train, same Dura-Drag, same 45 lb of drag at full. What the anniversary edition adds is the red, white and blue finish, the engraving and the serial number. Worth knowing before you buy: you are paying for the run, not for extra performance.
The 50VISW is the wide-spool member of the International VI family, built for trolling and big-game work — it takes 500 yards and more of 130 lb braid with a 100 lb-plus topshot and no leader needed. Precision machined from high-strength, lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum with a large stainless steel gear train for strength and speed. Dura-Drag starts up smoothly and virtually eliminates the hesitation that shows up on lesser drags at extreme settings.
